@Evan_Hand There are very few examples of private equity doing good, and countless examples of them destroying the companies after extracting every penny. Businesses turn to PE when they think there are no good options for raising cash. D1 needs monopoly protections if it is to survive.
@KrisKobach1787 Republicans... making the world safe for <checks notes> lead water pipes? Makes sense if you're the brain damaged caucus I guess.
@Atrios Biden won't assassinate Trump in prison for the obvious reason that Biden isn't really the President - Trump is (or maybe Obama?). It's one thing to be a fake President for three or four years, but murder? That's serious business Mr. Atrios.
@DougJBalloon I’m uneasy about “the economy” because I feel like we’re in late stage capitalism and shits just gonna break and the little guy is gonna get screwed as usual. Despite the great numbers it’s hard to feel good with impending fascism giga-billionaires ruining everything.
@emptywheel Kinda weird that the party of extreme capitalism can rationalize a 0% loan benefits the lender. Maybe its a mob thing for them and they feel Joe now has leverage over his son. "Hunter. I did you a favor. Now I'm asking you a small favor in return." lol. Clowns.
@chelseathepope Rewatch Whinnie the Pooh and you’ll have a whole new level of respect for Rabbit. Get your bouncy ass the HELL out of that man’s garden Tigger!
